This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary of Battles, Marches and Incidents of the Seventh S. C. Regiment, 1862 Four hours, and we are approaching Yorktown, celebrated in history for deeds of valor done, which crowned our first Revolution with victory, and taught a powerful and proud nation that "the race is not to the swift, nor the, battle to the strong." As we near the landing we view with scorn the gunboats of the enemy riding the waves, though at a very respectable distance from our huge guns, which bristle along the breastworks. Occasional shots are interchanged, and some shells fall in dangerous proximity to the transports discharging their precious living freight, which seem to produce nothing more than some amusing remark from some witty soldier. We ascend the heights to the town. Alas! the desolating track of war meets the eye on all sides in smouldering ruins, lonely chimneys and deep entrenchments. Ah! McClellan, you could never have reduced this place by approaching in front, had not your gunboats, aided by the James and York rivers, given you such facilities for flanking it. Hence Gen. Johnston, properly ordered a retreat in the direction of Richmond, where he could draw you out from the shelter of your boasted power, and fight your mercenary nirelings in open field, where Southern patriots, armed with the triple armor of justice, could defeat your motley crew of foreigners and oath-breaking Yankees. Our regiment being sent to guard Dam No.1, here we are kept in almost a constant state of excitement. The Warwick river, a small stream running into the James, had been enlarged by damming it up every few miles, to prevent the enemy crossing. This was done by Gen. Magruder, who had command of the Peninsula, before the arrival of the army of the Potomac, under Johnston. The enemy attempted to cross once, and were driven back with slaughter by the3d Georgia regiment. The pickets at night would fire at the least noise in the water, and one rainy night our regiment was double-quicked to the river, by the continued volleys of musketry, when it was thought afterwards, instead of Yankees, some sentinel had fired at noises made by frogs. It having been determined to fall back, we found it necessary to make a feint to cover the retreat, and while the wagon trains and main army were being hurried off, the 7th and 3d S. C. regiments were sent down to Lands End, junction of Warwick and James rivers. We went down 30 th April; on the opposite side of the river the Yankees were thrown into activity at our approach. We were strung out, and built large camp fires through the woods, making the appearance of a large force. About dark, with our fires lighting up the whole face of the heavens, we were silently withdrawn, and ordered back to camps. We had scarcely left our illuminated camps when the enemy began to shell them furiously, which occasioned many a merry laugh.

Download or read book The Vermont Brigade in the Seven Days written by Paul G. Zeller and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vermont Brigade, sometimes referred to as the "First Vermont Brigade" or the "Old Brigade," fought its first full-brigade engagement in the Seven Days' battles. The leaders, as well as the rank and file, were inexperienced in warfare, but through sheer grit and determination they made a name for themselves as one of the hardest-fighting units in the Army of the Potomac. Using soldiers' letters, diaries, and service and pension records, this book gives a soldier's-eye-view of the Virginia summer heat, days of marching with very little rest or nourishment, and the fear and exhilaration of combat. Also included are the stories of 29 men that were wounded or killed and how the tragedies affected their families.

This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1914 the 16th (Irish) Division was formed, comprised of 47th, 48th and 49th Brigades, and among the infantry battalions allocated to the 49th Brigade was the 7th R Inniskilling Fusiliers, formed on 2nd October 1914. In the initial stages recruiting was difficult but a gradual improvement received an almighty set-back when in June 1915 the battalion was required to send a draft of 300 to the 10th Irish Division then in England, getting ready to embark for Gallipoli. This nearly resulted in the disbandment of the battalion, which had to start all over again, but by the time the division began its move to England in September 1915 the battalion was about 700 strong. After final training the division embarked for France in December, less the artillery and 49th Brigade which eventually crossed in February 1916. All this is recounted in Part I of the history. Part II is the story of the battalion on the Western front where it served till August 1917 when, on the 23rd, during Third Ypres, heavy losses resulted in amalgamation with the 8th Bn and henceforward it was the 7th/8th Bn. At this point the story ends. The battalion's introduction to trench warfare was in the Loos salient where it spent six months, and the memorial to this period is the plot in Philosophe Cemetery where 115 officers and men lie side by side in five rows; at the end of the book there is a plan of the cemetery showing the graves and who is buried in them. The battalion also fought on the Somme, notably at Ginchy and Guillemont. 7th Inniskillings were to the fore in the assault on Messines Ridge on 7th June 1917; in this major attack the battalion lost only 22 killed and died of wounds. It was after this assault that the feature known as 'Unnamed Wood' became 'Inniskilling Wood.' The battalion's final action before amalgamating with the 8th Bn was at Langemarck during Third Ypres. Almost the last photo in the book is one of the survivors of the original “Seventh” taken in March 1918 - they number twenty-two. At the end is the Roll of Honour. This is a competent and well written account, based on the War Diary, Battalion orders, records and personal memoirs. The author, who served as Signal Officer in the battalion for nearly two and a half years, stresses he took special care to avoid matters which might have led to political, military, or religious controversy.
